South Africa and the Transvaal War (Complete)
Author: Louis Creswicke
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1465556494
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 2345
Book Description
The Transvaal War—like a gigantic picture—cannot be considered at close quarters. To fully appreciate the situation, and all that it embraces, the critic must stand at a suitable distance. He must gaze not merely with the eye of to-day, or even of the whole nineteenth century, but with his mind educated to the strange conditions of earlier civilisation. For in these conditions will be found the root of the widespread mischief—the answer to many a riddle which superficial observers have been unable to comprehend. The racial hatred between Boer and Briton is not a thing of new growth; it has expanded with the expansion of the Boer settlers themselves. In fact, on the Boer side, it is the only thing independent of British enterprise which has grown and expanded since the Dutch first set foot in the Cape. This took place in 1652. Then, Jan Van Riebeck, of the Dutch East India Company, first established an European settlement, and a few years later the burghers began life as cattle-breeders, agriculturists, and itinerant traders. These original Cape Colonists were descendants of Dutchmen of the lower classes, men of peasant stamp, who were joined in 1689 by a contingent of Huguenot refugees. The Boers, or peasants, of that day were men of fine type, a blend between the gipsy and the evangelist. They were nomadic in their taste, lawless, and impatient of restrictions, bigoted though devout, and inspired in all and through all by an unconquerable love of independence. With manners they had nothing to do, with progress still less. Isolation from the civilised world, and contact with Bushmen, Hottentots, and Kaffirs, kept them from advancing with the times. Their slaves outnumbered themselves, and their treatment of these makes anything but enlivening reading. From all accounts the Boer went about with the Bible in one hand and the sjambok in the other, instructing himself assiduously with the Word, while asserting himself liberally with the deed. Yet he was a first-rate sporting man, a shrewd trafficker, and at times an energetic tiller of the soil. The early settlements were Rondebosch, Stellenbosch, and Drakenstein, in the valley of the Berg River. Here the Dutch community laboured, and smoked, and married, multiplying itself with amazing rapidity, and expanding well beyond the original limits. Dutch domination at the Cape lasted for 143 years after the landing of Van Riebeck, but gradually internal dissensions among the settlers resulted in absolute revolt. Meanwhile the Dutch in Europe had lost their political prestige, and the country was overrun by a Prussian army commissioned to support the House of Orange. In 1793, in a war against allied England and Holland, France gained the day, and a Republic was set up under French protection, thereby rendering Holland and her colonies of necessity antagonistic to Great Britain. After this the fortunes of the Cape were fluctuating. In 1795 Admiral Elphinstone and General Craig brought about the surrender of the colony to Great Britain.

The real book of ENOQUE translated from the Ethiopian original
Author: Carlos Miranda
Publisher: Carlos Miranda
ISBN:
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Enoch is a biblical character mentioned in the Old Testament, more specifically in the Book of Genesis. He is described as the great-grandson of Noah and is mentioned in the genealogy of Genesis 5, which lists the descendants of Adao. The relevant passage is Genesis 5:21-24 (NIV): "Enoch lived sixty-five years and begat Methuselah. After begetting Methuselah, Enoch lived three hundred years and begot sons and daughters. All Enoch's days were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God and disappeared, because God took him."The narrative highlights Enoch as someone who "walked with God" and, unlike the other characters listed in the genealogy, Enoch did not die, but was "taken by God." This brevity in the description of Enoch in the Bible has led to diverse interpretations and speculation in various religious translations. In addition to the biblical account, Enoch is also associated with the so-called "Book of Enoch" or "1 Enoch", an ancient apocryphal text attributed to him. This book contains visions, parables and revelations attributed to Enoch and has been of historical and religious interest, although it is not accepted as canonical by most Jewish and Christian translations. The Book of Enoch is made up of several parts, the best known being the "Book of the Watchers," which describes the interaction between fallen angels and humans.
